Everything you might want to know about the phone "summit" without actually listening in. Positive overall. The Trump-Putin relationship seems to be developing along the lines of the Trump-Xi relationship. Basically good relations. The DuranThe Trump – Putin call: summary and analysis Alexander Mercouris

I have long been an originalist, strict construction libertarian believing as did Mr. Jefferson (the slave owner and sage) that "the best government is the least possible." The trick being to discern what the least possible might be.Therefore I find it odd that I am somewhat disturbed by what is being said on the Democratic Party side of Congress, in the MSM...

Good summary of the witch hunting to date. While he doesn't use the McGovern "soft coup" to characterize what is happening, he implies it. It's really about Trump rather than Russia. The US deep state has always had it in for Russia and won't rest until the US controls it, this is really aimed at neutralizing the president and continuing the effort to remove him from power. Perhaps you saw "news" reports last week calling William Binney, formerly the NSA's technical director for world...

It’s the stuff of craven war-mongers, of dishonest cowards, of a totally deranged and very dangerous media. The signs are everywhere; imperial decline is set to accelerate rapidly in...

Press reports indicate that later this week President Trump will “decertify” the nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), relying on a clause in the relevant review legislation that permits the president to make such a declaration even if Iran is fully complying with the accord. That Trump has decided on this course has nothing to do with the terms of the JCPOA, with Iran, or with Iranian actions. He has not advanced a convincing case, or even a coherent...
